62. Deaf Culture History And Importance
    Demographically, the Deaf community parallels other minority groups in terms of andby hearing people’s denial of the Deaf culture and ASL as a language.  
    http://www.odc.state.or.us/tadoc/deaf7.htm
    
    Extractions: (Source: Unknown) Many people think of hearing loss as a disability, but many members of the Deaf community do not see it that way. Deaf people in this country are a linguistic subculture. They identify themselves as Deaf, as an ethnic identity, and not a physical condition. People who identify themselves as Deaf belong to a proud and distinctive subcultural group known as the Deaf community. The uppercase "Deaf" is used to identify those who are members of the Deaf community. They feel they are simply a linguistic minority, and are no more in need of a cure for their condition than are Haitians or Hispanics. Composed of people who use American Sign Language as their primary means of communication, the Deaf community has over the past 150 years developed a rich social life and folklore. Though their own efforts to meet their own needs, Deaf people have organized a national and international network of social, religious, athletic, dramatic, scholarly, and literary organizations serving local, national and international memberships. Every four years, for example, the World Games for the Deaf (the Deaf Olympics) brings together deaf athletes from many countries to compete for international prizes. Other important Deaf Organizations are: National Theater for the Deaf

    In addition, many groups attempt to capitalize on this idea by controlling or manipulatingthe language they/we use V. Signed languages and deaf culture.  
    http://ic.ucsc.edu/~padgett/langsoccult.html
    
    Extractions: This course introduces students to a range of topics involving the sociology, culture, and politics of language. See t opics covered below. Prerequisites: none General Education Code: T5 (Humanities and Arts or Social Sciences.) Return to Jaye Padgett's Teaching I. Good language and bad language The idea that there are correct ways to speak or write, and incorrect ways, runs deep, and it can have serious consequences for people. Where does this idea come from? What does it mean? What are its consequences? What is 'Standard English'? How else, if not by enforcing a language standard, do countries cope with dialectal variation? II. Dialects Dialects are a fact of life and always have been, as is linguistic variation and change. What are dialects and where do they come from? Dialects, linguistic variation, and patterns of speech, all have a lot to do with social class, ethnicity, gender, age, and in general, group affiliation. Why should this be? III. Linguistic relativity, Newspeak, and political correctness There is a popular idea that patterns of thought are determined in part by one's language. (For example, 'French is the language of reason'; 'Speakers of Hopi have no conception of time'; 'Eskimos have 100 words for snow'.) Is this true? In addition, many groups attempt to capitalize on this idea by controlling or manipulating the language they/we use, in order to control the way others think.

69. Native Americans: Maliseet Indian Tribe (Malecite, Malécites, Skicin, Maliseet
    a complement to our Maliseet language information, we Maine Timeline of Native AmericanCulture v The Malecite Indians v Native groups Maliseet Encyclopedia  
    http://www.native-languages.org/maliseet.htm
    
    Extractions: (Malecite, Malécite, Malecites, Malisit) Language: Maliseet-Passamaquoddy is an Algonquian language with two major dialects: Maliseet (or Malécite), spoken mainly in New Brunswick, and Passamaquoddy (or Peskotomuhkati), spoken mostly in Maine. There are 1500 speakers of both dialects combined. Very few people in the younger generations speak Maliseet or (especially) Passamaquoddy, which means that the language will die out within this century unless language revival efforts can successfully restore its use among Passamaquoddy and Maliseet children. People: The Maliseet tribe belonged to the loose confederation of eastern American Indians known as the Wabanaki Alliance , together with the Passamaquoddy Penobscot Mi'kmaq , and Abenaki Indians . The Maliseet live primarily in Canada, especially New Brunswick, with one band across the border in nearby Maine (the US granted official recognition to the Maine tribe in 1980). Older literature sometimes refers to them as "St. John's Indians," though there's no evidence they ever used that term themselves. The Maliseet's own name for themselves is Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet is a Mi'kmaq word for someone who can't talk very well,) but today they are usually known as Maliseets or Malecites. History: The Maliseet and Passamaquoddy people were closely related neighbors who shared a common language, but though the French referred to both tribes collectively as Etchemin, they always considered themselves politically independent. The tribes of the east coast were extremely confusing to the Europeans, who couldn't understand why there were dozens of small groups of Native Americans who lived together yet claimed to be separate nations. What the Europeans did not realize was that the east coast had not been nearly as empty before they got there. Smallpox and other European diseases had decimated the Indian populations, and they regrouped as best they could. The Maliseet and Passamaquoddy, near relatives and long-time allies who spoke dialects of the same language, banded together against European and

    Extractions: Welsh culture is popularly associated with singing - particularly male voice choirs - and with harp music. However, there's a lot more to it than that! Welsh literature dates back to the 6th century, making Welsh Europe's oldest living language. Welsh is a Celtic language, closely related to Breton and more distantly related to Scottish and Irish Gaelic. It is still the mother-tongue of a large number of people, and is taught either as a first or second language in all schools in Wales. Courses in Welsh for adults are held all over the country; one special location for residential courses is the Nant Gwrtheyrn centre (details of this site are also available in Welsh ). A Web-based Welsh course is also available. Modern Welsh literature has been written in both English and Welsh in all the standard literary forms - poetry, drama, novels, short stories etc; one of the leading modern Welsh publishers is Y Lolfa, whose catalogue is now available on the Web. A useful site containing information about many aspects of the poetry of Wales in both Welsh and English is available on the Web.

    Extractions: U.S. Public Health Service America is home to a boundless array of cultures, races, and ethnicities. With this diversity comes incalculable energy and optimism. Diversity has enriched our Nation by bringing global ideas, perspectives, and productive contributions to all areas of contemporary life. The enduring contributions of minorities, like those of all Americans, rest on a foundation of mental health. Mental health is fundamental to overall health and productivity. It is the basis for successful contributions to family, community, and society. Throughout the lifespan, mental health is the wellspring of thinking and communication skills, learning, resilience, and selfesteem. It is all too easy to dismiss the value of mental health until problems appear. Mental health problems and illnesses are real and disabling conditions that are experienced by one in five Americans. Left untreated, mental illnesses can result in disability and despair for families, schools, communities, and the workplace. This toll is more than any society can afford.
